NEW Nvidia Drivers: GeForce WHQL 516.94 - Nvidia has issued a security warning for it's GPU drivers on 4/8/2022)

Informative might not be applicable to FS2020 though. There are at least 1 recommendations in the video which is not always right: using Maximum performance

In effect, there are cases where this setting is giving lower fps than “Optimal”.

The reason is the card will automatically lower its throughput when reaching a heat/power threshold, which you are reaching more easily with “Maximum”. When it does the card ends up delivering lower overall performance than what you’d get with Optimal (which is supposed to adjust as close to the threshold as possible).

This depends on load of course so if you’re below 70% GPU always, then it shouldn’t matter in this case either.

Otherwise you can read my post about some of the NVidia CPL settings which are making a difference with FS2020. Many people are reporting getting a better experience with their hardware too, it might work for you as well (or not): My 2070 SUPER 4K settings and suggestions - episode 2
